I needed an efficient stop between the south coast and Kent with 24hr check-in and this fitted the bill perfectly. Late checkin was no problem and the rooms are very clean, modern and recently decorated.

We thought the hotel was fantastic. We only stayed overnight but had chance for a swim and enjoyed an excellent breakfast. The family room was fantastic with two oversized doubles and a sofa, table, desk & chair. All very clean and a very welcoming and upmarket reception. Also great value when booked in advance with Expedia. Including breakfast it is not a lot more expensive than a Travelodge or Premier Inn. Will definitely go again at some time.

Welcomed by Carl, who is very sociable without being intrusive.
Excellent spacious room with comfy bed.
Very big en suite and a good range of products to pamper the skin and make the hair look beautiful. And a selection of bite - sized chocolates was a nice touch.
I was seriously jetlagged so the comfy bed and quiet nature of the surroundings was a godsend.
I woke at an odd hour and did some blogging, using the seriously good internet. Half a dozen nature shots I took in the big garden and nearby nature reserves uploaded to Facebook in less than 30 seconds.
Carl's wife Vicki and I had a good chat about the election that occurred the day before, before she served up a seriously tasty and perfectly cooked English breakfast. They have real coffee, too.
And did I mention the seriously good internet..... :-)
The only caveat is the the hedgerows are very narrow, and supposed to be limited to vehicles no wider than 6' 6" (2m). But lorries use it as a short cut to Brands Hatch, so be prepared for some interesting driving experiences......tip is to pull over as far left as you can on a wider section of the road if you can, if you see anything big coming. Or reverse back to a safer, wider section if possible.

The hotel recently reopened as a Best Western hotel, literally 2 days before we arrived. We had to wait for the room to be physically ready to check-in and they still had to do work after we moved in on the bathroom (where the mirror also was still wrapped in foam!).
The staff were friendly, but not all yet up to speed with the ways of working. The kind but rather scruffy man at breakfast needs to learn hotel etiquette, it seems...
The rooms were very comfortable, so overall it was OK, but they could have gone more out of their way to make sis feel good, given the state the hotel was still in.

This is an old hotel and could do with a lick of paint in places. We chose it for its excellent location and proximity to the Stag theatre. Our room was small and cosy and fine for one night. Worst aspects were thin walls and no hot water in the morning. We were kept awake by someone snoring and woken early by what sounded like furniture being moved above us.
I feel hotels should do as they do in the US and deduct a small amount from the bill for inconvenience.
